I was looking at potential guys again and this is what I would come up with as possibilities. Not sure if any of them have existing outdoor rides, or if they would be free to jump to a PC ride. Short and Locurcio have ridden 450 outdoors but would probably jump on a factory 250 ride.

Darian Sanayei
Enzo Lopes
Kyle Peters
Josh Osby
Joey Crown
Martin Castelo
Mitchell Falk
John Short
Lorenzo Locurcio

EDIT: As pointed out, Davalos has not plans for MX and could end up back there. Mitch must have a soft spot for him, but honestly a guy like Lopes, Locurcio or Short would probably give you a better points total at the end of the year.

Sanayei is worth a shot, at least for the first few and see how everything is going.

Dude rode some good GPs over the years, especially early 2018 before he blow his knee out.

Or they need to get Anstie out off his HEP Suzuki deal and put him on a PC 250. Bummer part is Anstie is not fully healed and took a big KO last week at Pala.

Tough summer ahead for PC if also Forkner is out.

I saw Sanayei one year at Walton in Canada and he was great. The young rider who beat him and won the pro class was Joey Crown. What about Crown, is he locked down? He’s on one of those great Yamaha’s for ClubMX but just an idea.

Oldenburg isn’t bad!. Maybe a long long shot but Marshal Weltin was impressive during some GP’s, but for some reason things didnt work out when he came back to the USA.

Sanayei is fast, is Lopes still on a red bull deal?

I dont know any other 250 guy that could run up front that is not named in this thread

When I put my list together I thought Oldenburg was doing outdoors with some Penrite support but if not then he's near the top of the list.

If Mitch gave Enzo Lopes a chance on that PC Kawi i really think he could have some good rides.
(That is if his shoulder is fine by the time we start outdoors, i know he dislocated it on that incident where he landed on a tough block)

In only his second full year as a pro he has made big improvements with his riding and consistency on the track. A guy like him could really benefit from going to Pro Circuit.

Mitchell Harrison Esquire could be a good pick.

If Oldenburg doesn't have a ride for the summer, he's gotta be at the top of the list, right?

The longer we wait for a Forkner update the more likely Mitch will need to get 2 fill in riders.

Darian Sanayei:

He shares a few sponsors with the team and after 4 seasons in Europe he could be decent outdoor rider for the team.

He wasn't exactly crushing it overseas... Mitch would definitely prefer someone with podium potential
He was very good until he got Epstein Barr that ruined his last year of GP racing. He would've been a solid top 5 rider in his last year without it.

Definitely worth giving a fill-in ride outdoors in my opinion.

If Mitch needs 2 riders. I would pick Sanayei and Enzo Lopes.

Hammaker maybe after Loretta’s. Jett maybe after Loretta’s but I doubt it. He needs a year on the big bike in A class.

I’d like to see Sanayei, Harrison, Crown, Bailey or Robin get a try. Not sure who the best option would really be.

Crown would be an awesome pick up. I'm not sure how things ended with Mitch and him though. I remember there being some turmoil as Crown was being groomed by team green to move up to PC and they took Marchbanks instead.

Not to mention Crown is still healing from a head injury at this time.

I said it once, I'll say it again.

Put Sanayei on the bike, it's the right thing to do no need to even throw out other options Tongue

No eligibility rules for outdoors- Wide open. Eli and Kenny could ride 250s if they chose to.

The Bear? A Wageman Brother? Love the John Short idea.

Kind of reminds me of Honda 2008 when they were so spent on riders they gave Top Jimmy a shot.

Lopes and Sanayei are the obvious answers to me. I'd like to see what Lopes can do. It's been two years since he raced outdoors, and that was on a less-than-impressive Suzuki.
